Regarding the correction, Cecil, glad to help!

Regarding "degrading" - I might have a quiet word with the coach if it was really degrading and the kids were very young (12U or younger). Or, if as in your case, so instructed by the UIC. Otherwise, since I have no real jurisdiction here, I'm staying out of it.

Definitely a practiced skill, identical each time.
